I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor by Lauren Tarshis

Michael Her

"It seemed impossible that only twenty-four hours had passed since he first saw those planes. Because everything seemed completely different now. Not just the harbor, now in ruins. Not just America, now at war. But Danny too. Maybe yesterday morning he had been the kind of boy who would leave his ma. He would never know for sure. But he knew this: He wasn't that kind of boy anymore" (73-74).
